one example is something the was mentioned in an op ed in the "washington post." it is the need to talk openly between the executive branch and congress about a legal paradigm that deals with the problems of terrorism as we understand them in the 21st century. the major political debate, and some of it is rhetorical, is whether or not we are at war with terror. should the subject -- sow should the subset -- should the suspect in the detroit bombing be treated as a hostile enemy? we are neither fully and war and the classic sense of state- to-state, that with all the rules and structures that applied to that but neither are we fully in a criminal legal context. part of that has to do with the multiple feeder to mention of what we're talking about. people are shooting at each other in places like afghanistan, but it is hard to say those are criminal environments and solely? of criminals. at the same time, it is hard to argue with our european colleagues that this is a war paradox. many of our european colleagues think the fear of radicalization is in their streets.
